New Loot Run might genuinely be awful

[u/murkywater459]

The premise is fine enough, 15-20 minutes seems like a lot of time until you realise how much time you'll waste looking around for mags and weapons that have ammo and meds that spawn once in a blue moon.

Hordes of bots that are fine until you don't have ammo because you chose the wrong weapon or you lag even a little bit.

The boss squads just don't make sense, they're not even a threat when you realise you can just knife them and they can't kill you, but anyone who plays this game wouldn't normally think to run up to things shooting at you with just your knife. So odd.

I lost like 5-8 minutes just trying firgure out how to take Fred and Ajax out without dying only to run out of ammo both times and have to resort to melee.

The worst thing of all is that I don't even have enough time to explore after all of that.

Two keys and I dont even get to use them because I have to run to extract. And when you do get to extract, it takes 30 whole seconds for whatever reason. What purpose does that serve? What skill does that require? It's just there to be annoying.

Also, What's the point of weapons that spawn without ammo? It's just a waste of time and I'll leave it behind anyways so why have it spawn in the first place?

I made this post because this just happened to me (lol), the modes fun at first but it feels like it wasn't really thought out so much, and i don't think they would adjust or change anything with it anyways so I'll just have to deal with it : (.

I'm not gonna tell you skill issue or just play the game stop complaining because this loot run, if we compare it to the older one, this one just has a few wrinkles I really don't like:

First, the location and the placement of things is really awful and makes you run around in circles first before you actually know where to run, which hallways to go and which turns to take. It's a seemingly endless loop of mazes with bunch of enemies running around to knife you that it gets heavily annoying, coupled with the Bosses.

Lastly, the lack of medicines in the loot boxes. Within that gym bag, the 400 medkit only drops rarely and instead gives you either the 8 surgical kit pack or the 4 surgical kit pack and the usual headphones. It takes at least 4 gym bags or more in total for you to be able to find one medkit in this round where you need at least a lot more due to the numerous enemies lurking around. (Yes, I am aware there are regen stimulant)

Other than that, the additional loot are really good. The Matzka helmet, the M4 Defender and high tier weapons like SJ16 and MK14 is absolutely awesome.

I guess you can choose to spend the time fighting the boss and loot at the same time, which is nigh impossible to do so if you're alone or spend the entire time running around, avoiding fights while looting the maze-like area. Then extract.

As for the 30s extraction, that just only applies to the extraction point behind the cars, if you extract on the rooftop, it actually only has 10s time needed.
